Two Perfect English Painting Holidays
 
Cumbria, Langdale Chase Hotel Lavenham, Suffolk, Swan Hotel
The Langdale Chase Hotel is located on the east coast of Lake Windermere in the Lake District. The views are absolutely breath taking and you cannot fail to be inspired by the beauty of this place. 

The 2009 holiday was without doubt one of the most well received holidays we have ever run.  Faultless service from the hotel along with excellent painting locations make this a must visit location for 2010.

● Stunning gardens rolling down to Lake
   Windermere shoreline.
● The surrounding area can only be described as
   heavenly.
● Top quality food .
● Faultless service.


Monday 26th – Friday 30th April 2010       £750
The Swan at Lavenham is the quintessential English country hotel and restaurant, situated in the Suffolk countryside.

We are into our third year with The Swan, its just one of those places you feel completely at home as soon as you walk in.  Perfectly situated for short runs out to painting locations.

Another stunningly beautiful location which ticks all the right boxes.

● One of the best hotels in the country.
● Top quality food.
● Fabulous rooms.
● Scores of villages and large country houses
   to paint.

Outdoors On Location Workshops 2010
Some of our most popular workshops are based outdoors in and around our local area here in Northumberland.

The workshops are based in the studio which we use just in case the weather turns against us. With the weather on our side, we will travel out each day to paint locations such as Druridge Bay, Warkworth Castle, The River Coquet and various barns and little hideaways in the immediate area.
